Every year since 2009, I look forward to attending Apple World Wide Developer Conference. In 2016, I got the opportunity to attend it in San Francisco. It was a great experience seeing Tim Cook and all the Apple heroes close by and getting surrounded by people who share the same passion.

There is obviously a tonne to cover every year and I curate a list of videos I plan to watch. Here is the watch list for this year. I’ll (probably) update with some comments against each of these as I go thru them.

Excited for another year and probably the best year to be an iOS engineer.
